WebAssembly WordPress demo page

[zieladam]

Let's create a demo page on WordPress.org to showcase the ​WebAssembly WordPress. It would be a great first step towards interactive tutorials and live plugin demos in the directory.

In the first go, let's just run a nightly WordPress release there – see ​the related ticket in the wordpress-wasm repo.

Agreed. I vote that we set it up in the wporg-developer (​https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-developer) environment. Its environment is already standalone and close to potential future use cases. Alternatively, we could create a new site, but that would require a few more configuration steps which will probably just slow this experiment down needlessly.

Finding a first use-case:

Idea:
What if we gave users the ability to test a soon-to-be-released version of WordPress? We could add a link next to the beta release version number for example: ​https://wordpress.org/download/releases/#betas

Building on that idea, what if we gave authors the ability to test their code in a soon-to-be-release version of WordPress? Could we give theme authors or plugin authors a link that loads the next release with their code pre-loaded?
